Once again, what did you mean by this post, and what were you offended at that triggered it? If you don’t answer me for the third time then I’ll just assume you were playing the victim as usual and have nothing to back it up with.

Once again, I meant nothing offensive by said post, and it does not say anything offensive. You are interpreting it as such and now you want an explanation to back your interpretation and I’m not going to give it to you because it would be false. Chlorine wanted specific answers that I did not have so how could I give him one?

Can we all get back to discussing mediocre Lucas side projects now? Still waiting for those experimental films he’s been talking about for four decades now. 😉

I’m of the opinion that he’s actually made them. He said once that he was only going to show them to his friends.

They’re probably things like this.

“I’m sorry for trying to have a conversation with you” isnt something you just neutrally say in passing. You are so full of shit.

I didn’t but I’m honestly not worried about it. He can insult me all he wants, I don’t care, just have the guts to own it instead of pretending it wasn’t what it was. I just wish this annoying behaviour would stop. And he still didn’t answer the question so I’ll just assume it was to get attention.

I asked you 3 fucking times to stop. The rules say you are supposed to respect that and you did not. It seems you were the one looking for attention.

NOW STOP!!! 4th request and I’m pissed.

Either the rules apply to all Silverwook or they don’t. Did I not ask him 3 times per the rules? Did others start coming in and following suit? Can anyone just ignore the rules because they believe they have justification where none exists?

😦

Then everyone take the non relevant discussion elsewhere.

Me and Fo cleared things up, so that’s all fine.

Had you answered this question the first time it would all be over, but since you won’t answer it I’ll assume you have no answer. Which is fine. Have a wonderful day.

Lucas had been trying to get this made since the 80’s.

Really, that long? I thought it was since 1991 - and even that amount of time surprised me.

An HBO movie on the same subject came out in 1995.

Yes, The Tuskegee Airmen, I’ve got the DVD somewhere. Damn good film with a great cast.

As for Red Tails, I was eager to see it because of the subject matter, especially after enjoying the HBO film, so I imported the US Blu-ray as the UK theatrical release date hadn’t even been announced. Despite a good director (I enjoyed Hemingway’s work on The Wire) and cast, it came across as ok but nothing more. Frustratingly, it fell way short of its potential to be an epic war and historical film.

The “Double Victory” documentary included on the Blu-ray that featured testimonies from the real life Tuskegee Airmen was much more powerful, engrossing and compelling than the feature film. Lucas should’ve based RT around those actual true stories instead.
